With 'touch screen requirement' i mean a requirement for touch screen friendly UI style (with big buttons and labels, similar to POS buttons for example). So it is only about adding custom CSS (the ofbiz CSS are designed mostly for mouse clicks,rather than touch screen clicks). Can you explain your idea about ' terminal configuration system' especially the part with wrapping a table or two ... please ?

I cannot understand your question here. What could be the problem in a web UI (like ecommerce) to have data driven panel for products ? Is there a problem that i cannot see ? >Maybe I'm not understanding your reason but you seem to be suggesting >the use of html because you're not familiar with XUI rather than any >technical reasoning. Is that correct? This is only one of the reasons. The other reasons are explained in my initial message. There are some other reasons that i didnot write. Of course, even all these reasons, it is possible to do it in XUI, possibly even better to do a pos system with XUI, but i will give a try for a web-based :) >Don't misunderstand me I'm not fanatical about keeping XUI but I would >like to see your implementation replace the existing POS as an >improvement, where by it provides the same features and more.
